  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The U.S. Department of the Interior has installed a dozen bronze statues commemorating Revolutionary War figures in Freedom Plaza across the street from the White House to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Freedom Plaza, which has often featured as a popular location for political protests, now features 12 soldiers "arranged in a civic tableau commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence," according to a statement from DOI published last week.

A statue was also installed on April 25 of Caesar Rodney, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Delaware. Some mainstream media outlets framed the statue commemoration by noting Rodney's status as a slaveowner. His equestrian likeness was removed from the prominent Rodney Square in Wilmington, Delaware, amid the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
